At The Learning Federation we believe that a child’s socio-economic background should not be a barrier to success. We passionately believe that inclusion isn’t just a buzzword—it is the heartbeat of our school. We believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing space to learn, grow, and feel understood.

You will be a safe harbor for children navigating complex emotional landscapes. Working closely with our SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) and class teachers, you will:

• Provide targeted 1:1 and small group support for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
• Implement bespoke de-escalation strategies and emotional regulation techniques to help children manage anxiety, frustration, or trauma.
• Create a nurture-first environment, using restorative practices to manage challenging behaviors.
• Someone who understands that "behavior is communication" and looks past the disruption to see the child who needs help
• Collaborate closely with the school interaction with external agencies (like CAMHS or educational psychologists) and families to ensure a holistic approach to each child’s well-being.

Your role will be to enhance the learning and life skills of the children in a way which is individualised to their specific needs. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience and be able to adapt their supporting methods to suit varying levels of need as required.

You will be a positive, proactive team player who enjoys a challenge and has a good level of education.

We can offer you:

• Well behaved, hardworking and enthusiastic pupils;
• An inspiring, supportive school community;
• A commitment to a culture of continuous professional development

This is an exciting opportunity for an inspirational TA to take on a crucial role within our expanding vibrant school. The successful candidate should be an outstanding professional brimming with enthusiasm to make a real difference to the life chances of our pupils.
